What should be done if no one over 21 is available to accept an Adult Restricted Delivery?

In the case of an Adult Restricted Delivery, the requirement is that the package must be signed for by an individual who is at least 21 years old. If there is no one available who meets this age requirement, the best course of action is to return the package to the sender. This ensures compliance with postal regulations and maintains the integrity of the delivery process, as Adult Restricted Deliveries are specifically designed to protect sensitive or restricted items.

Returning the package to the sender provides a clear and appropriate resolution in situations where an authorized recipient cannot be found, thereby avoiding any potential liability issues that may arise from leaving the package in an unsecured location or attempting delivery without proper verification of age. It also ensures that the sender can take appropriate next steps regarding the delivery of their package.
